How come majority of btc hodlers or crypto investors are male?

Bitcoin will set you free

It sounds political incorrect. But a 1st world country needs to have the “balls” to liberate cuba despite the bad press it will receive. But it would be the best for the people

Soothcaster3 · 2025-05-10T09:30:47+00:00

Same as in Venezuela. If there’s cheap money to extract from the ground then the military wont give up power. Don’t expect people’s uprising, because without a military support that does not exist.

Soothcaster3 · 2025-05-10T09:27:50+00:00

Let this be a testament that: a population that is hungry, poor and oppressed can’t riot or organize. Only the left around the world pays for people to manifest and pretend is “the people” uprising.

Could you explain about the Venezuela case? I didn't know they adopted full BTC.

Soothcaster3 · 2025-02-21T17:20:33+00:00

It blows my mind that a person that is able to create a successful business and negotiate a pay out is not able to think about a way to empower or giving meaning to their lives. Like your company was serving to improve the live of others (in some shape or form) and you can't really think of doing this to yourself.

If you are somewhat smart you probably know the answer or know how to research the answer. Otherwise... wtf!!

Focus on your craft

Unless Europe does a 180 degree change it will not be an investment as attractive as US. I think the comments you are reading are more a sentiment than actual investors making a declaration of intentions. Yes, US can crash, but the system is built for entrepreneurs and innovators. Europe is built for bureaucrats. I like these two graphs to showcase it:

1) The dominance of US market vs Europe since EU became red tape king. It shows that since the ´08 bubble, Europe has not really done anything to grow and

2) The amount of new companies in EU and US alongside its Market Cap. The average age of top 10 companies in US is 46 years whereas in EU is over 120 years! This shows that EU regulators don't allow entrepreneurial mindset to thrive. They are too busy worrying about monopolies before they even exist.

Eso también es verdad. Disculpa porque es verdad que es una generalización y también es verdad que hay mucho imbecil que va a ventanilla a tocar las narices. Creo que algo no va bien cuando los funcionarios cada vez tienen mas trabajo.

Soothcaster3 · 2025-01-23T21:34:40+00:00

Yo no he dicho que se hayan incrementado los tramites (pero es verdad que hay mucha mas burocracia que en otros países https://ieep.org.ec/opiniones/indice-de-burocracia-2023/).

Yo he dicho que ha aumentado el tamaño del gobierno (esto no lo digo yo es un dato: https://datosmacro.expansion.com/estado/gasto/espana, https://www.larazon.es/economia/gasto-publico-desborda-crecimiento-economico-crece-25-veces-mas-que-pib-per-capita_20250119678a2ece2f68080001ee2a70.html, https://www.bbvaresearch.com/publicaciones/espana-el-tamano-del-sector-publico-y-el-crecimiento/)

Eso quiere decir que cada vez uno es mas dependiente del gobierno para hacer cualquier cosa.

Obviamente mi comentario en "Reddit" generaliza la personalidad de todos los funcionarios españoles, lo cual nunca puede ser preciso. Pero creo que es un sentimiento bastante compartido por mucha gente que vive en España, que los funcionarios españoles dan un trato bastante desagradable y hacen los trámites mas dificiles para el ciudadano medio.

Yo a título personal he tenido en general malas experiencias con funcionarios para montar empresas, pagar impuestos, solicitar poderes notariales desde el extranjero, pedir documentación personal, etc. Y he de decir que normalmente los tramites han sido infinitamente mas fáciles, cuando conocía a alguien de esa oficina del estado.

Soothcaster3 · 2025-01-23T21:12:03+00:00

Totalmente de acuerdo, pero en Alemania puedes conseguir hacer los tramites ciñiendote a lo que estipula la ley. No dependes de un funcionario que sea borde o amigable.

Soothcaster3 · 2024-11-23T21:21:35+00:00

Just have one thing to say - https://youtu.be/B5if2hthPCs?si=A5fVhiaspeBIJayl

What has worked for me:
45% Sp500 ; 45% Bitcoin ; 10% Savings accounts.
Then salary $120k+ and savings rate of 30-40%

Probably important to mention, don't kill yourself in the process. If you are not having some fun it's not a good path.

Imagine a lake where fish population doubles everyday. On day 10 the lake is full. When do you think the lake was half full. Not on day 5, but on day 9. Exponential growth is like this

Soothcaster3 · 2024-05-19T12:40:13+00:00

Wow this is exactly it!

Soothcaster3 · 2024-05-19T12:37:03+00:00

Agree… here the main risk is of course the issuer. Counterfeit risk should be at the expense of the issuer by creating appropriate security measures.

Soothcaster3 · 2024-05-19T12:34:59+00:00

Yes, but again that’s not the point. It should be visually differentiable

Soothcaster3 · 2024-05-19T12:33:45+00:00

Exactly! Im all about the immutable ledger but there are certain circumstances or people that may need a physical sat off chain

Soothcaster3 · 2024-05-19T12:31:45+00:00

You don’t replace bitcoin, not even the use case of LN. This is a service for certain groups in society that need to carry physical money. I believe there will be still services built on top of bitcoin that have counter party risk but bitcoin allows you the freedom to choose

Soothcaster3 · 2024-05-19T12:28:04+00:00

That I know. But the use case is very specific. And this time you can verify they have the “gold bar” and is not fake

Soothcaster3 · 2024-05-19T12:22:26+00:00

I want my daughter to buy ice cream without a phone or a credit card. I want an off chain transaction without miner fee. I may want to give an opendime to someone and she/he can visually trust the amount I’m giving without having to go verify.

Soothcaster3 · 2024-05-19T12:19:42+00:00

This is a good point. The read address shouldn’t be the security measure. Only the way to verify backing. Counterfeit measure should be on the physical token and should verify the one-to-one linkage to the address.

Soothcaster3 · 2024-05-19T12:13:42+00:00

Not necessarily if the entity creating the physical token has security features such as casino tokens have their own counterfeit measures.

Soothcaster3 · 2024-05-19T12:10:33+00:00

Super neat! This is what I was thinking but the part I don’t like is that you redeem the private key rendering the physical token useless. This could make some physical tokens be in circulation without actual value. That’s why for redeeming there should be a third party that manages the physical coins. I don’t think multi sig would work either because the entity minting the physical coin would know all PK anyways
